I got a tanaka auger last year as a gift, and instead of the matching blade it was shipped with an eskimo bit and crappy adapter. Instead of getting a refund and waiting till this year to get a Nils (everywhere was sold out by that point), I went fishing. So now I'm stuck with an amazing power head turning a heavy, wobbly blade that is way too tall for most of the season and puts the handles at eye level (and I'm 6'2").
I'd like to just get a Nils hand auger and slap it on. Is that possible? I can't get any confirmation, but from pictures it looks like their power heads are modified where they connect. I'm guessing that won't work and I'll end up at a machine shop trying to make it fit.
What are my other options? I did see someone using a newish Tanaka with a black bit but didn't ask what it was. Is there anything else that will fit?
